Have you ever made fruit infused water?
If not then you should try this refreshing detox water that is not just cooling but also loaded with nutrients.
I never thought of adding fruits (except for lemon and limes) into the water until a couple years back when I tried orange infused water in our University dining and absolutely fell in love with it. Since then I started making nutrient water at home more often.
I know it is not just me, people also love infused-water.
Proof?
This May I had shared fresh strawberry detox water which has got more than 65k shares on social media. When I shared this recipe I never thought it would receive so much love. I was really feeling reluctant before sharing the recipe thinking who would even be interested in this simple recipe. But I was proved wrong. Sometimes simple and healthy recipes can get more love than you’d expect.
